A few kind words is what I should have had for Caitlin last week. I felt guilty for not having the patience to have a proper conversation with that defiant six-year-old, so since then I’ve been consciously trying to do kind things every day.

I started at an easy place – my next-door neighbour, Lily. Whenever I can, I pick her up for the Companions session at Teacups so she can have a cup of tea and a piece of cake with other people who are looking for a bit of company. But I don’t spend enough time with her myself; so I made a point of popping round on Monday evening and taking her some flowers from Tulips that didn’t have a long enough shelf life for me to sell. She was delighted.

Welcome

Hello, welcome to Salvage Box!

I’m Liz, I live in the north of England and I love to create things. I also hate to see things go to waste so all of the creative projects contain an item that has been salvaged – something that was destined for the bin or has had a previous use and is no longer needed.

I hope you enjoy getting creative with me.

Where’s Jenny?

Salvage Box was initially hosted by a fictional character, Jenny McKendrick. In addition to the creative project each week there was a story about Jenny and the people around her – a sort of soap opera in 100 episodes. She's still there in those early posts if you'd like to read her story.
